Frequently Asked Questions
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the unique number assigned to your device by your internet service provider (ISP). It identifies you on the internet and reveals your approximate location. HackMyIP shows your public IP address instantly.
What is an IP checker?
An IP checker shows the public IP address your connection is using right now, plus the approximate location and ISP attached to it. This page is that checker: it shows your IPv4 or IPv6, location, ISP, and whether the address looks like a VPN or hosting network.
How do I check my IP address on Windows, Mac, or a phone?
Open this page. The public IP websites see is shown at the top, on Windows, Mac, and phones. ipconfig on Windows and the Wi-Fi settings on Mac or a phone show the local address on your own network, which is not the public one.
Is my IP address exposed?
Yes — every website you visit can see your public IP address. This is how the internet works. If you want to hide your IP, use a VPN service to mask your real address.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 (4 numbers separated by dots). IPv6 addresses are longer, like 2001:db8::1. IPv6 was created because IPv4 addresses are running out. Most networks support both.
Can someone find me with my IP address?
Knowing your IP alone is not enough to find your exact location, but it can reveal your city and ISP. Combined with other information, it could be used for targeted attacks. Use a VPN and firewall for protection.
How do I change my IP address?
You can change your IP by using a VPN, connecting to a different network, or restarting your router. Your ISP may also assign you a new IP periodically if you have a dynamic IP address.
